Limited

There’s no limit on band­width” yeah, but ISPs don’t think like you think and even they said ‘unlim­ited band­width’. Well, it seem to be they’re lies.

About yes­ter­day, Com­cast cable (also Qwest) has just annouced 250 GB band­width cap and they’ll dis­con­nect user who exceed more than that… Well, as I know in some coun­try like Aus­tralia got only about 30 GB limit per month (that’s more ter­rify). Yeah, and it’s no good for Bit­tor­rent users as well. Inter­net speeds in these day are pretty fast (Com­cast pro­vide you about 16 Mbps). So it would be so easy to reaches 250 GB in a month.

To be hon­est, I hates band­width cap, even they give me a lot of band­width per month. That’s because this would affect to HD video stream­ing or online backup users, not just bit­tor­rent users. I guess I can only hope in the future this band­width cap won’t be last long.

Well, maybe I get a lit­tle too much angry. Any­way, do you like band­width cap? And does your region’s ISP give you a band­width cap?

    I use Com­cast and they didn’t tell me about this at all in any form or way, as if I’m going to read their stu­pid site every day. You can bet if they pull my plug once I’ll be find­ing a new provider. I’m not going to pay for lim­ited connectivity…

    don’t like it too. these money hun­gry guys never think ahead and is always try­ing to squeeze more out of us with­out giv­ing us any­thing in return. they should spend more time and more energy upgrad­ing their network!

    I don’t have a “cap” but if I use “exces­sive band­width” they will throt­tle me to dial up speeds.

    @to you all, thanks for the com­ments… I know you feel really bad about ‘band­width cap’.

    @panther, fariz & TheGeek, throt­tle speeds? I hate that as well. It’s feel like pay­ing hi-speed inter­net prices for dial-up.

    @james, good to you man.. I’m really envy you. ^^”
